it's legit good music but my man what a bunch of stereotypical misogynistic brodudes they are7/10 and its not counting problematic lyrics
>>128286701OP is a faggot
>>128286701>it's legit good music
>>128286739Only troons dislike this album.
>>128286701I hate faggots like that. I know this is bait but its seriously annoying as fuck. Who gives a fuck if someone talks shit about women. Women talk shit all the fucking time. Stop the double standard. Most women are shit
>>128286764>>>/r9k/
>make 1 half decent album>normies act like they're a legendary rock bandhow did they do it /mu/?
My Michelle is the best song on the album
>>128286779With such a solid album the question should be what's the weakest song. I'd say Think About You
>>128286893I’ve honestly never been too partial to Paradise City
>>128286963Maybe you heard it 1000 too many times
>>128286893I always thought Out to Get Me was comparatively weak
>>128286701yeah, but Axl was also openly simpish too to a degree that was unusual at the time. see sweet child, patience etcand he was proudly white and not down with the inherent anti-white of the post-civil rights establishment a full 20 years before MAGA. see one in a million.
In the latest Guitar World magazine that just came out, Dave Navarro says in hindsight he was a better cut out for GnR than the Chili Peppers and should have taken that gig when it was offered to him first instead.
>>128286725Clearly
>>128287435Is Axl a magatard now? Should be easy to find out. If he is you’ve a point otherwise One In A Million is an artwork that does not necessarily reflect the personal views of the author
>>128286779Yeah it is
>>128286774If anything, this album's runaway popularity is an indictment on just how lame mainstream rock had gotten by the end of the '80s. Same goes for Faith No More scoring a hit with "Epic". I love that song, but why the fuck was that ever a hit?
>>128287750no, he got beat up pretty bad for that song (fyi, the 'no negative thoughts about minorities' regime was much more strict in the late 80's than it was in the so-called woke era (2010's), despite what zoomers think), and now usually endorses dem's.but the 'work of art, not really his thoughts' rationale is total BS, especially with someone from the blunt-talk 100% redneck background of Axl. i.e., it was his views.
>>128287810The video on mtv made that Epic song a hit
>>128287869It either was or wasn’t. If it was it isn’t now by all accounts so it shows he had a phase in his younger days of thinking like that, and if it wasn’t it doesn’t matter for political arguments and he’d actually be taking the piss with the song
btw it’s not uncommon or unusual to write from the perspective of an other person real or imagined
>>128288071I'd say it's unusual for a rock star to not write in sincere 1st person, as the main role both commercial and artistic of rock stars is being heroes for teenagers.sure there might be genres of rock, like say art rock with Bowie where you don't know for sure if he's singing in a character he identifies with or not, or literate rock like Randy Newman where you know he's singing in a character he doesn''t identify with (sail away)but redneck Axl obviously didn't come from those backgrounds and isn't doing some art-fag thing where he's playing a role to make an ironic point. he's a blunt redneck and sincerely says what's on his mind, no game-playing.and I mean, if we're just going to pretend Axl didn't mean anything he sang, the whole premise of the thread falls apart, because you could just say Axl and gunners were just parodying cock rock when they sang those songs.
>>128288353It’s really not unusual at all, you’ve given examples and if Axl had (hypothetically) claimed it was from a character perspective that would be that. Like there’s fucking songs out there about digging up corpses and raping them, and like I said >>128288033
>former hitler youth Axl Roselol
>>128286725Yeah he is. Op dresses like a woman then runs his mouth and says, "you wouldn't hit a woman, would you?! I'll call congress!!"
>>128286774same as van halen that essentially made shitty pop rock with a poorly noodling guitarist that got the credit for inventing tapping despite countless bands doing it previously, including Judas Priest.The entirety of the mainstream rock/hard rock/metal pantheon of the 80's is fraudulent derivative pop garbage
>>128286725/thread
>>128286701>it's legit good music but my man what a bunch of stereotypical misogynistic brodudes they are
>>128288406again, the premise of the thread was taking Axl and Gunner's songs at face value and that they more or less were singing in sincere 1st person when they sang their cock rock songs, and since there is no overt 'wink, wink, this is parody' that I can detect in the 'One in A Million' song, then there is no reason to only analyze that from a parody perspective and not any other of their songs.
>>128286774All of their shit up to The Spaghetti Incident was decent, and Appetite is like an 8/10 album with balls in an era where most bands were trying their hardest to be gay af and remove any testosterone from rock music.You could also argue that Use Your Illusion 1 / 2 without the filler is another 8/10 album and Estranged is their best song.>>128286779It's So Easy mogs.
>>128286701Overrated. They peaked on their debut album lmfao. GNR Lies is underrated. Use Your Illusion 1&2 are good, Spaghetti Incident is covers, and we all know Chinese Democracy is just Axl borrowing off of Nine Inch Nails sound.
>>128287883This album doesn't have a banger as Midlife Crisis on it to be honest.
>>128288718Faith No More are a good band.
>>128288673but Chinese Democracy era has Buckethead playing Big Sur Moon to confused GNR fans so it gets extra credithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QROJOGMOVc&list=RD-QROJOGMOVc
>>128288745Yeah. I had Appetite for Destruction in my previous car and got bored halfway through.
>>128288768True.
>>128288816Used to like GNR, saw them live in 2023. But now cannot really stand them anymore because I heard the same fucking songs over like hundreds of times on radio.
>>128286701they're just a bunch of simps larping
>>128286701READY TO CRASH AND BURN....I NEVER LEARN....
>>128288718>zombie eatersdevelopments over the last 10-13 years sure recontextualized the 90s push against teen pregnancy
>>128286963>Some publications, such as Ultimate Classic Rock and Spin, have identified the song as one of the band's worst. The latter designating it as the most overrated in their catalogue, writing "'Paradise City' runs out of ideas halfway through its triumphant first refrain and yet still lasts for six more minutes."BASEDO
>>128286893Nah, AFD is nothing short of strong moments, then there are moments that are peak rock perfection
>>128289440It was wild that a song with a double time thrash section was on top 40 radio
Slash is black/jewishGnR are literally more woke than Nirvana
>>128289714Axl was so racist he only allowed half a black and half a jew in his band
>>128289440the jam at the end is the best part.
>>128289691It's genius how they snuck that in the conclusion, gradual and casual The build is simple, pretty riff, boom stomp arena rock but by the end of it... if you never heard thrash you were initiated into thrash in the throes of the last moments. >>128289871A perfect example of subversion, stadium pop to headbanging rocking all around, the song itself is a building. How could one not lose their shit to this song, fuggin a idk.
>>128289351Night Trains solo goes hard
>>128286701>problematic lyricsGo fuck yourself
>>128286701You don't know what misogynistic means.
>>128286701its good you're just a pussy.
>>128286963some lady I know considers that her favorite GnR tune.
>>128288470>t. has never listened to Possessed, Celtic Frost, or Slayer
>>128293241of those 3 only Slayer is mainstream, and I think they are way overrated, and I was mostly talking about Van Halen, Iron Maiden, post Uli Scorpions, etc...But generally all the "popular" bands are overrated as fuck because they are more brand than music, best examples being Metallica and Iron Maiden, haven't released good music in like 20 years, but are probably the most popular metal bands because of their branding and the tribal identity built around them.
>>128295939they all problematic as shit, iron maiden at least didn't write texts degrading women
